Chapter 401: Xu Yun's Promise
"Originally, I was also planning to speed up the research and development of superconducting materials at room temperature, but now that you have taken the initiative to propose it, it has solved a headache for me."
In the building of the Imperial Capital Academy of Sciences, in the dean's office, Hou Shengchang looked at Xu Yun's figure on the screen, and his face was full of smiles when he spoke.
Regardless of whether overseas has conquered room temperature superconductivity, since the other party does not plan to announce it to the public, they must not sit idly by and see backwardness, so it is imperative to research and develop domestic room temperature superconducting materials.
And there is also a need to speed up the process.
In fact, he has received instructions from above in the past few days.
In the research and development of superconducting materials at room temperature, it is necessary to catch up with the global pace or even take the lead as much as possible.
This undoubtedly threw him a difficult problem.
You must know that at present, overseas research on room temperature superconductivity is undoubtedly in a leading state.
It doesn't matter if they've conquered it or not.
In this case, if you want to catch up or overtake smoothly, the research and development progress on your side must be very fast.
But looking at the national experts in the field of materials, I am afraid that only Xu Yun can be qualified for this job.
Originally, considering that Xu Yun had just finished the lunar base project, it was inappropriate to suddenly call him to the imperial capital to work, but he didn't expect that in the end, Xu Yun actually took the initiative to study room temperature superconductivity.
It just suited his heart.
One thing is that the project is carried out at Gyeongju University.
According to his idea, such an important project should be studied within the Academy of Sciences.
At least the equipment and personnel of the venue are top-notch.
Of course, he was thinking about this in his heart, and he would definitely not give Xu Yun any advice.
Xu Yun's ability couldn't be clearer to him.
is really responsible for the research and development of superconducting materials at room temperature, which can basically be said to be a hand-held handle, and the success of the research is only a matter of time.
At that time, regardless of whether or not overseas has conquered room temperature superconductivity, they have already mastered it anyway.
Even with the realization of room-temperature superconducting materials, projects such as controllable nuclear fusion of maglev trains can usher in earth-shaking changes, which are the most important.
However, the research site of the room temperature superconductivity project will not change in Jingzhou, but it does not need to be carried out in secret.
You must know that the world is currently discussing overseas room temperature superconductivity, and it is precisely because we should find ways to divert the public's attention.
The thought stayed here, he naturally wouldn't sell it to Xu Yun, and directly said his thoughts.
"The institute will fully support your research in Jingzhou, and if possible, I suggest that a project conference be held first, and take this opportunity to announce to the outside world that we are also researching superconductivity at room temperature."
"Otherwise, others would think that room temperature superconductivity would be monopolized."
"With your influence, I'm sure many people will be convinced that we can conquer room temperature superconductivity."
Xu Yun, who was on the other side of the video, heard Hou Shengchang's words, although he was a little surprised, he did not refuse.
He really didn't think about the project launch, but it was not impossible to respond to it.
It's not a hassle anyway.
When the time comes, just let Wang Sheng watch and arrange it.
As long as the report is out, I believe it will soon spread all over the world.
"That's a good idea, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Xu Yun nodded at Hou Shengchang in the video and agreed.
In the following time, the two discussed the relevant details.
The laboratory of the School of Materials Science of Jingzhou University has already been upgraded, and there is no problem in terms of personnel, so Xu Yun did not agree to the assistance of the Academy of Sciences for the time being.
After all, if you really do this, you have to send people over, but it will delay time because of each other's running-in.
He is confident that Kyungju University will be able to complete the project.
Moreover, he is the most important in this research on room temperature superconductivity.
At the moment, he still has two hundred points and three scientific simulation opportunities left, although the panel has completed the mission to help him become an academician of the two academies, and he can't add new points and times, but this time there is just a material paper from Professor Rickett's research team overseas.
Using the directions mentioned in the paper as a starting point for your research, you should be fine with these integrals and the number of simulations.
Getting the room temperature superconductivity should be a sure thing.
I just don't know how much will be left after this time.
His ambitions don't stop there.
Now that the development of the lunar base is in trouble, and there is no way to exploit the lunar resources, it is necessary to build a spacecraft powered by nuclear fusion.
The key to this is room temperature superconductivity.
So he hopes to have the opportunity to be involved in fusion research and development in the future.
However, it is really useless to talk about these things at the moment, and the top priority is to overcome superconducting materials at room temperature.
"I'm waiting for your good news in the imperial capital."
Just as Xu Yun was thinking about this, he only heard Hou Shengchang's familiar voice ringing in his ears again.
After expressing his best wishes, he took the initiative to end the call.
Seeing this, Xu Yun smiled and closed the page, and then called Sun Zhenghong.
Tell the other person about the project launch.
After all, Sun Zhenghong, as an academician, usually focuses on scientific research, but he has time to leave contact information when he meets in the morning.
can only let Sun Zhenghong arrange it.
Xu Yun can be said to be a proper man of action, since he has decided to develop room temperature superconducting materials to prepare for the future, he will not waste the slightest time.
After arranging these things, I went back to the study and studied it first.
Let the deep sea fall out of the relevant information about room temperature superconductivity, as well as the results of other people's research.
Strive to overcome it in the shortest possible time.
……
……
Sun Zhenghong and Wang Sheng learned about the project press conference from Xu Yun because they knew that it was the decision of the Academy of Sciences, so they had no objection to this matter.
On the same day, resources were mobilized to arrange the venue and the participating media reporters.
Anyway, it was held at Kyoshu University, so it didn't take much effort.
As soon as I thought that this time I was working on a project with Xu Yun, I couldn't wait to start it officially.
For this reason, the sooner the project conference is held, the better, so as not to delay the follow-up research.
Following.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Academic lecture hall of Kyungju University.
At this moment, several students are decorating the lecture hall in preparation for the upcoming project launch.
Although it is normal for a member of the student council to help the school do some voluntary work, if you do some nagging words in normal times, after all, you will not be paid.
But today they are willing, and even this opportunity is deliberately won over.
Just because it was the legendary Xu Yun of Beijing University who participated in the press conference.
An idol in everyone's hearts.
Most of them are freshmen and sophomores, and since Xu Yun is not teaching in school for the time being, they have no chance to see idols, and even the number of online appearances is getting less and less.
This time, Xu Yun will take the lead in organizing the key project research of the Academy of Sciences and the School of Materials Science of Beijing University, and will often stay in the school in the future, which is undoubtedly a surprise.
Naturally, I wanted to find an opportunity to meet my idol with my own eyes.
"You say that Academician Xu is not easy to get along with, I have never met Academician Xu."
At this time, a girl who placed a teacup suddenly spoke, looking like she was making up the picture.
After touching it for about two seconds, I heard the response of a boy who looked like a senior not far away:
"Actually, Academician Xu is not much older than us, and it is definitely not something that we ordinary people can guess if he can be called a legend, but it's a pity that I wasn't born a few years earlier and didn't catch up with Xu Yuan as a classmate."
"Let's hurry up, the press conference is about to start, and there are still many reporters waiting outside."
"Got it, senior sister." The girl who spoke first heard this, and quickly nodded in reply.
But in the end, I didn't know what I thought, but I couldn't help but add: "In addition to reporters outside, it is estimated that there are many students around." ”
She wasn't wrong at all.
Xu Yun, as the idol of the whole school, will definitely be watched by everyone when he suddenly comes.
However, the school's lecture hall can't hold so many people, so it can only be kept out.
For this reason, the school has also borrowed security forces from other places to maintain order.
That is, several of them can have the opportunity to participate in the decoration of the venue by virtue of their student union status.
Compared with their expectations for Xu Yun, the current reporters are more curious about the content of the project.
Everyone knows that Xu Yun has just completed the manned landing on the moon and the moon base, which is enough to go down in the history of the development of human civilization, and it has not been long before a new project has been suddenly determined, and it is really curious to cooperate with his alma mater.
After all, everything Xu Yun handles has far-reaching significance.
With everyone's discussion, of course, some people have mentioned the most popular room temperature superconducting materials recently.
However, the exact details of this project will not be known until the press conference begins.
"Now that our three astronauts are still on the moon, Academician Xu has already decided to study a new project, and I am worried about whether his identity can withstand this level of effort."
"I guess it's a very important project."
"Academician Xu's project is not important, but it is related to the development of our human civilization."
"Could it be related to the overseas announcement of conquering room temperature superconductivity?"
"It is estimated that it is possible that the main body of this project cooperation is the School of Materials Science and Technology of Jingzhou University."
"It is true that room temperature superconductivity cannot lag behind others, and now that Academician Xu is in charge, there is no need to worry."
"Anyway, I don't think that overseas has conquered room temperature superconductivity, otherwise there would be no new news until now."
"I have a hunch that today is going to be big news."
"Don't talk about it yet, it's time to enter!"
Soon, as the venue was ready, the reporters waiting outside stopped talking in private, and hurriedly followed the team inside.
Meanwhile.
Xu Yun, who had already come backstage at the venue, greeted him warmly after seeing Sun Zhenghong, Wang Sheng and others.
"I didn't expect the project launch to be completed in just one day."
When he got the news that he was going to attend the press conference today last night, Xu Yun was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sun Zhenghong's efficiency to be so high.
It's really not a waste of time.
When Sun Zhenghong heard this compliment, he looked at Wang Sheng beside him and said, "It's thanks to Professor Wang for doing these things, otherwise today's press conference wouldn't have been held." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Hearing this, Wang Sheng hurriedly said.
In front of the two academicians, he would definitely not deliberately take credit for himself.
What happened next was relatively normal, and when all the reporters were in place, they also took their seats on the stage.
The project press conference officially began, and Sun Zhenghong took the lead in speaking an opening speech prepared in advance.
After the atmosphere was almost over, he glanced sideways at Xu Yun and then announced the theme of today's press conference.
……
"This time, the Academy of Sciences will take the lead and cooperate with the School of Materials Science of Jingzhou University to develop superconducting materials at room temperature, with Academician Xu Yunxu as the general leader of the entire project."
As Sun Zhenghong's words fell, there was a commotion in the audience.
Xu Yun was very excited about his decision to develop superconducting materials at room temperature.
Without waiting for Sun Zhenghong to continue, some reporters couldn't help but ask Xu Yun questions.
"May I ask Academician Xu because of the news about room temperature superconductivity during this period of time, did he decide to participate in this project?"
"Regarding the news of room temperature superconductivity announced overseas, can Academician Xu talk about your opinion?"
"Has overseas really conquered room temperature superconductivity?"
"Is it because of the relationship between my alma mater that I deliberately cooperated with Beijing University this time?"
……
Xu Yun listened to all these questions, and he didn't stop anything.
Then he opened his mouth to answer.
However, he did not give a very clear answer to the matter of overseas room temperature superconductivity.
It just means that room temperature superconductivity will definitely be conquered in his hands.
The whole project press conference also went very smoothly, and it didn't even take an hour to achieve the goal, and it was almost finished.
But in the end, just as Sun Zhenghong was about to announce the end, a reporter suddenly asked another question that intrigued Xu Yun.
"Hello Academician Xu, how confident are you in the research and development of superconducting materials at room temperature?"
"How soon is progress expected?"
Xu Yun set his eyes on the reporter who asked this question, first waved his hand to Sun Zhenghong and signaled him to wait, and then answered clearly with confidence.
"I can answer your two questions, first of all, the project I am responsible for will go all out until it is completed, as for the estimated time for the research and development of room temperature superconducting materials, I think there should be a very good result next year."
"Then we will wait for Academician Xu to tell us the good news."
The reporter nodded heavily when he heard this, and forcibly responded to Xu Yun's words with the excitement in his heart.
We are confident that we will announce good news next year, which is equivalent to conquering room temperature superconducting materials in just one year.
This news is enough to celebrate.
After all, room temperature superconductivity has always been considered non-existent by the academic community, and there has been no significant progress in research so far.
It was Professor Richter's paper that brought up room temperature superconductivity again.
If someone else said that it would take a year, no one would believe it, but Xu Yun was completely different.
Thinking that room temperature superconductivity will be achieved in a year, everyone's life will also change dramatically, and it is absolutely false to say that the mood is not excited.
In this way, the project press conference ended in everyone's excitement, and all the reporters who came to participate couldn't wait to report the news, and I believe that after today, the online discussion will not only be overseas room temperature superconductivity news.
It is also worth mentioning that Xu Yun did not leave, but found Sun Zhenghong and them to confirm the project.
"The previous things have been done, and I have decided to officially start the research on room temperature superconductivity from tomorrow, do you have any questions about this?"
"The specific list of project members has been finalized, and everyone can go to work at any time, and there will definitely be no delay in tomorrow's research." Sun Zhenghong replied with a smile on his face.
Although Wang Sheng next to him didn't speak at this time, the surprise on his face couldn't be concealed.
The reason why they completed the project conference so efficiently was that they wanted to officially start the research of the project as soon as possible.
Now that Xu Yun has determined the time, it is naturally too late to be happy.
How could there be a problem?
However, after confirming this matter, Sun Zhenghong's face showed some worry.
After a little hesitation, he finally spoke.
"Can we really conquer room temperature superconducting materials next year?"
He definitely didn't have any doubts about Xu Yun's ability, and he also believed that it would be a matter of time before he conquered room temperature superconductivity.
But just one year really feels impossible.
The key Xu Yun also promised in front of reporters that if this is not successfully conquered by then, it is inevitable that some bad information will appear.
And Wang Sheng next to him also set his eyes on Xu Yun at this moment, as if he wanted to know Xu Yun's answer.
Xu Yun didn't feel anything worried about Sun Zhenghong, who made room temperature superconductivity really a hard bone, otherwise there would not be some relevant news until today.
But in order to carry out the research work smoothly in the future, he still gave the other party a booster shot.
"Don't worry, if it goes well, you may not even need it for a year."
After saying this with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he turned around and left, leaving Sun Zhenghong and Wang Sheng stunned.
In their opinion, since Xu Yun is so confident, it means that Xu Yun is likely to have mastered the research direction.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about this.
The two looked at each other, and both saw surprise and excitement in each other's pupils.
——
At the same time, when the news that Xu Yun was going to study superconducting materials at room temperature began to spread around the world, Nibison came to the place where the joint research team of scientists from many countries was located.
Would like to ask Richter for information about the material reproduction experiment.
Although he announced the news in advance in order to keep his position, he was uncertain whether the material had room temperature superconductivity, and he was always a little uneasy in his heart.
He chose to believe Richter, but he didn't want to be disappointed in the end.
At present, materials laboratories all over the world are reproducing the properties of this material, but there is no new news, and even more and more people on the Internet have begun to question it.
So he wanted to urge Richter as much as possible, and it was better to quickly and thoroughly prove that this material has the properties of superconductivity at room temperature.
As a place to study space-based weapons, it was not the first time that Nibison had been here, and it didn't take long to meet Richter.
The first sentence of the meeting is to talk directly about the right thing.
"Professor Rickett, how are the experiments on the reproduction of superconducting materials at room temperature going?"
"Have you confirmed the superconductivity at room temperature?"
Met Nibison's expectant expression, Rickett paused for two seconds before saying with great regret: "I'm really sorry Sir Nibison, after our reproduction experiment, it has been confirmed that this material does not conform to room temperature superconductivity. ”
